Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Hervey Bay .

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    Join the Hervey Bay Photography Group on Facebook to share your photos after the session.

    Title or Location: Point Vernon, Hervey Bay, QLD
    I took this image on the 30/03/25, following several days of wild, flooding weather in Hervey Bay. As the sun was setting I was keen to capture a glimpse of blue sky amidst the parting, stormy clouds...a sign of better days to come. Samsung Galaxy S23, ISO 10, F 1.7, 1/588 s.

    Title or Location: Urangan Pier, Hervey Bay, QLD.
    Light comparing itself between a busy space and a quiet one. I didn't know which way to take my eye. The rule of thirds and negative space made this a great photo. I did wade into the water a little and happy that I caught this moment, I can still smell the fresh air and the lapping of water on the rocks and wooden posts underneath the peir.

    Title or Location: Cappadocia in Turkey
    This is one of my favourite places in the world, Cappadocia in Turkey. It is like stepping back in time, rich in history and a changing landscape with every second as the light changes over the fairy rock chimneys and olive trees. I stood by the side of this road until there was no traffic to catch the horse sculptures galloping down the hill. I am glad I carry my camera on holidays, especially to Cappadocia!

    Title or Location: Sand Art - Shelley Beach
    My wife and I recently moved from Victoria to Hervey Bay and was out and exploring our new neighbourhood.It was late afternoon while walking our dog, Mocha along the beach when I spotted this geometric sand art just on the Foreshore as the tide was going out.There were many examples of this geometric sand art caused by some sort of sea-life, that it caught my eye and I snapped a few images with my Canon EOS R7 camera and this was one such image.

    The skies were cloudy and grey all afternoon and I almost didn?t go out to shoot sunset. I?m glad I decided to try because the sky put on an amazing show that evening.

    Title or Location: Meadowlands
    A photo of a Tree Swallow taken during a walk through the meadowlands. These birds are extremely quick and erratic often difficult to photograph. Luckily this one decided to take a little posing break and allowed me a nice shot. Taken with my Canon R5 with a Sigma 150-600 mm lens.
